About

Provided by Cohen & Gresser LLP

Cohen & Gresser’s White-Collar Crime practice advises and defends corporate entities, public figures, executives, financial institutions, investment funds, and listed companies in high-stakes criminal, regulatory, and enforcement matters in France and across borders.

The practice has deep experience handling complex political-financial and business crime cases, including allegations of fraud, money laundering, bribery, tax fraud, misuse of corporate assets, embezzlement, and sanctions violations. The team intervenes at every stage of proceedings, from complaint filing and internal investigations through regulatory inquiries, criminal investigations, trial, enforcement of judgments, and international judicial cooperation. It has developed particular strength in challenging criminal seizures and responding to foreign forfeiture and enforcement requests.

Clients regularly rely on the practice in investigations and sanction proceedings before French regulators, including the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) and the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), as well as in cross-border matters involving cooperation with foreign authorities such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the SEC, the FCA, and other international regulators. The team is frequently engaged in sensitive, multi-jurisdictional investigations and compliance matters involving U.S. and international regulatory regimes, including FCPA and OFAC-related issues.
